How to Enable Yahoo Messenger Archiving Without Someone Being Able to Tell
Yahoo! Messenger allows you the options of pulling up a previous chat history for a single conversation or of configuring settings so that all future chat histories are saved. In either case, the person for whom you want to review the chat history will not see that you are doing so, since preference settings are only recorded on your own computer or mobile device.
